We have a retail lease. The property manager just invoiced us for our share of the Landlord's insurance renewal (20% as it covers multiple adjacent properties). The original invoice issued to the Landlord included GST on the premium and GST on the broker fee but there is a Stamp Duty cost which does not attract GST. However, the property manager has issued us an invoice which includes GST for the entirety of our 20% share - i.e. GST on the premium, the broker fee AND the stamp duty. Is this correct??

Hi @gjh72


Yes it’s correct. The property manager is “on charging” the expenses when this happens any expense that was initially GST-free is no longer GST- free when it’s passed on.


The business passing the expense on, and GST registered, they are required to add GST.


It’s a popular question we’ve had often if you have a look at oncharging on our community page you’ll find similar post.
